Keeping cables and gear well organized is always a challenge. Enter in the Niteize Gear Ties they are 

Reusable Rubber Twist Ties have a tough rubber shell that provides excellent grip, a strong wire inside that holds its shape, and a range of bright colors to catch your eye! Gear Ties are available in six sizes (3″, 6″, 12″, 18″, 24″, 32″, or 64″) to organize nearly anything from a small cord or cable to large sporting goods equipment. Look for Gear Tie Technology on many additional innovative Nite Ize products. Twist it, Tie it, Reuse it – Gear Ties!

These things are very handy I am now using them to secure many different types and sizes of cable. They are also low cost enough that when you lose one it isn’t the end of the world so check the link below for the product link which is available many places including Amazon 

NITEIZE GEAR TIES

I am often asked by new clients after a few shoots why they are never waiting on audio and why I always have whatever is needed ready. The answer is good preparation and anticipation of productions needs. I always tell everyone that I am a Pro Active person for Re Active person. By being pro active I prepare and prep gear so it is always ready to be deployed. I also have the experience to know what gear is going to be needed even when the client doesn’t think so.  These are just some of the skills that come along with hiring a professional experienced audio mixer. 

One of my rules of thumb is to prep extras of everything so that if needed I can quickly deploy them keeping the client happy and increasing my gear rental. Some examples of this are if they order 4 talent wireless I will prep 6 or if they order 3 IFB I will prep 5. In my experience talent wireless and  IFB are the items I add the most frequently. By also having my Nissian Nv-200 van always close by I have spare and extra gear available at a moments notice.

So I invite you to review how you prepare for your jobs.  

Rain covers and rain protection is always of paramount importance but not all rain covers are created equal and not all rain covers are good for all types of rain. There is nothing worse then wearing a bunch of hot rain gear in the summer in the south. For light rain I was seeking a quick to deploy and easy to wear solution the Orca Rain cover seems like the best solution available. below is all the info about it  LINK

The Audio Bag Rain Cover from ORCA is designed to protect your audio gear while shooting outdoors. Made from a transparent thermoplastic polyurethane material the cover shields your gear from rain, snow, dust, and other harmful elements. The rain cover includes an around the neck strap and buckles on to any Orca Audio bag.
